Port
To import the data from the chosen sensor you need to define an input port. This can
be any available Local Area Network (LAN) or serial line on your Processor Unit.
We recommend that you set up the relevant communication parameters before you use
the port. To set up the communication parameters, use the
I/O Setup
page. The
I/O
Setup
page is located in the
Installation
and
Output
dialog boxes.
Inspect Port
Select
Inspect Port
to check the communication parameters for the port. The relevant
port setup dialog box opens.
The communication parameters defined for NMEA 0183 are:
•
Baud rate
: 4800 bit/s
•
Data bits
: 8
•
Parity
: Even
•
Stop bits
: 1
Some instruments may provide other parameters and/or options. You must always
check the relevant technical documentation supplied by the manufacturer.
Note
You are not permitted to make any changes. To change the communication parameters,
use the
I/O Setup
page. The
I/O Setup
page is located in the
Installation
and
Output
dialog boxes.
Monitor
This option is only available if you decided to edit the parameters of a previously
installed sensor. Select
Monitor
to open the
Port Monitor
dialog box. The
Port
Monitor
dialog box allows you to study the communication stream on the chosen serial
line or local area network (LAN) port.
Custom Name
For easier recognition of the sensor interface, you can type a custom name. This name
is shown in other dialog boxes in the user interface. If you do not have a computer
keyboard connected to your ST90 system, select the
Keyboard
button to open an
on-screen keyboard.
